Gday...
Guilty as charged.
However, I offer the following as a feeble excuse for such an inexcusable act - I was stopped for lunch between moving camp today and rushed the entry while eating me sanger. Consequently, sloppy typing fingers and no proof-reading.
100 demerit points have been applied. I would have applied 100 lashes but I just might enjoy that too much.
Apologies to Brian
Cheers - John

Rock lizard hi
Of the five dates I was around and do remember the last, the mishap of the Valdez.
That day the news bloke I was delivering fuel to a factory, the tradesman there was a temp replacing a guy I normally would of had morning tea with and we got talking and he had about 20 years of service up on large ships around the world, expained how this may of happen and dollars, bonus factor of it all, very interesting sort of a guy things we don,'t normally even think of.
Yes, I do remember the Valdez. Cheers.
